E-Business: How to Sell on ebay Course Offered in Lake Providence, March 24

Hi everyone. Today, Glenn Dixon and I provided training in Lake Providence, Louisiana to a group entrepreneurs on E-Business: How to Sell on ebay. We discussed PayPal, how to find comparable prices for products, marketing tips and more.

This course is part of the Rural Entrepreneurship program established in partnership among Louisiana Economic Development, Southern University Agricultural Center and the LSU AgCenter's Delta Rural Development Center. This course is being provided in the Louisiana Delta Initiative region primarily in northeast Louisiana and often in southern Louisiana in partnership with the SU AgCenter's Southwest Center for Rural Initiative.

If you were a participant in the Lake Providence class today, please make a "comment" about your experience.

Thanks.
